The word “Hustle” gets thrown around a lot on the world wide web and it shouldn’t be. Why? Because the word “Hustle” is getting watered down. It’s losing its meaning. The severity of the word is becoming, well, less severe. We need to understand that if we want to improve as photographers we need to … Read more

Colby Brown has been on the Photography Roundtable Podcast many times before, but I can’t remember a time when we’ve been able to dive deep into the technology world of photography.

There are two striking things about James Barkman that made me want to have him on the Photography Roundtable Podcast.

When I was asked to share some of my thoughts of travel photography with a photography group in St. Louis, I started to think about what travel photography even meant to me. Why do I enjoy it so much? What am I supposed to do with photography? One experience I had in September of 2013 … Read more

What’s amazing about photography is that I’m almost always able to predict the questions that some people will ask me. One of the questions I can predict recently in classes or workshops is, “What’s in your bag?” I admit, it’s a great question that should be discussed. However I want to respond to that question … Read more

I’ve covered this topic several times on the photography roundtable podcast, and it truly pains me and bothers me that I have to cover it again.
